One of the goals I had with starting this blog was to document ways to enjoy more time outside and explore cities within the United States. This very first post provides a glimpse into a few days in Sedona. My sister and I were there last week and enjoyed our first time there. We were very lucky as the weather was beautiful in March. At this time of year, Sedona is approaching it's busy season. We were able to enjoy the trails without too many people or traffic. Here is your 3-day guide on what to see, do and eat in Sedona.

Sedona is known for it's "red rocks." The red is actually rust that settled over time. The land over Sedona was once an ocean. Sedona is also named after the town's first postmaster...all this time I thought it was named after a Native American.

Here's a recap of our itinerary. It was a leisurely few days and Sedona is totally worth checking it over a long weekend.

Day 1

We arrived in Phoenix at 12pm local time from New Jersey

We started the drive from Phoenix to Sedona (estimated at 2 hours)

We had lunch at this cute place Naked BBQ which I totally recommend for some good for you BBQ. The guys there were pretty nice too.

We stopped for around 30 minutes at Lake Pleasant. It was quiet as it was too early in the season.

We stopped at the Sunset Point lookout off of the highway

We atyempted to go to Montezuma's Well, but arrived 8 minutes after close which was at 5pm. Bummer!

We arrived at Oak Creek and Sedona at around 6pm

We stayed at the Sedona Summit Resort. Nice grounds, but the rooms could have used an update. Good location though.
